Scottish Autumn By
Kevin Gibbin The images in this article are based on three trips to Scotland in the Autumn; two of those trips were to the Cairngorms, the third included a visit to Skye. It is interesting to reflect on the weather conditions encountered which varied from mist to bright autumn sunshine to snow – even in October – and of course rain. In fact some of the images made in snowy conditions are among my favourites. One lesson to be learnt is that even though there are truly magnificent landscapes to be photographed there are also more intimate details that can be the subject of the image. One of the benefits of image-making in misty conditions is that colours become quite subdued and attenuated plus adding depth to the photograph. The first image, taken in Rothiemurchus forest typifies this.
